This is not the current course catalog

Class Details

In this course, we will explore the options that painting with acrylic can offer. The class will focus on developing necessary technical skills, such as the manipulation of color, value, surface, and texture. We will also consider issues of content in a diverse range of approaches, including painting from observation (still life and portraits), abstraction, and cross¬media experimentations (for example, combinations in installations, sculpture, photography). The particular characteristics and benefits of acrylic paint will be explored in contemporary approaches. There will be visits to museums (WCMA, the Clark Art Institute and MASS MoCA), critiques, and slide presentations.
